We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.

12/8 - Round 24 EW 166.2
Round 25 goal 164

12/9 - 165.2 - What a nice start to this round.

12/10 - 166.2 - Oh boy......no workout, no water and dang that homemade apple cobbler I made sure was good.

12/11 - 167.8 - Good grief, this is not going very well!. It's all on me though. Another day of no workout, no water and basically just laying around being a bum. It's not something I do often but sometimes I just need the down time. Leaving in a few minutes to run, lift and stair master. I have a day full of errands, projects and farm work this afternoon. Tomorrows weigh in will be much better!

12/12 - 166.4 - Yes!!! Going in the right direction now. Gym, water repeat.

12/13 - 167.0 - Well fire.

12/14 - 167.2 - Perhaps those two glasses of wine weren't such a good idea. Off to the gym to correct the error of my ways.

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.

SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164

12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.
12/13 164.4 Back to where I was. Whew! Lol I spent the day running errands AFTER I left work and came home to find a surprise here at the house. It was the lighthouse ornament we ordered. Mom loved lighthouses, so we bought the Hallmark 2017 one in her honor as a way to remember her on our first Christmas without her.
12/14 164.2 I stayed late lasy night at work. All of us teachers were making caramels for a cookie tray. Then, I went to my son's band concert. He plays tenor sax, and he had a part all by himself. He did beautifully.

12/10-144
12/11-144 looking so forward to losing my pouch
12/12-145 must be that I gained muscle, because I have stuck to diet and exercise...including lifting weights
12/13-145 hanging in there....still doing my 30 day Shred, sticking to my low carb diet and decreasing alcohol.
12/14-145 hopefully I will see a 144 or 143 soon. Patience is a virtue.

Oh dear...facing the music from my wedding and honeymoon. Just got back yesterday and on the scale for the first time this morning. Worth every lb gained...lots of water today to see if I can flush out a lb or 2.

12/9 - no scale
12/10 - 155.6
12/11 - 152.4 - I have a feeling the scale's going to be a bit wonky for the next few days until I readjust. I'd feel pretty good about settling somewhere around here after all the debauchery in Mexico
12/12 - 150.8 - sweet...
12/13 - 150.4 - feel like i'm settling into what's real in terms of the vacation gain and I'm good with it. Now trying to figure out what my routine looks like to lose another 10-15 lbs without the motivation of a giant looming deadline.
12/14 - 150.4 - it's been easy to get back to my clean eating habits with a bit more variety. A few months of eating this way pre-wedding seems to have changed my tastebuds and cravings significantly which is super exciting! No success so far in getting back into my exercise routine...I've got my trainer scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully that will get me moving.

12/09 - 144.2 hopefully I can hold onto this over the next few days. Today will be interesting, potluck lunch and pub Christmas party for dinner. At least there will be lots of movement with the dog competition we are going to.
12/10 - 143.2 might be a false blip but I’ll take it for now Didn’t end up logging the potluck it just became too complicated with a little bit of this and that but I think I did alright with a light plate and then I chose a single dessert to treat myself and try. Then at the pub I really didn’t want to derail things so I chose to drive and have a club soda and chicken Caesar salad so I think I did alright. More dog competition today and another potluck lunch so hopefully I can keep it up.
12/11 - 143.2 very happy with this number. After the weekend of two potlucks and a pub evening Christmas party I feel like I managed to mostly keep it together. Took the same approach to the potluck I did on Sunday and went with the small plate and chose 1 treat to sample. Hoping to keep it up.
12/12 - 143.2 ended up doing drive through for dinner which was a mistake. Normally when that happens I skip the fries and I’m usually pretty good but I thought last night I would eat them. OMG they were so salty and I didn’t stop until 3/4 of the way through. Ugh the busy holiday season is making meals a bit tough. Keep pushing for the healthy or at least reasonable choices though.
12/13 - 143.0 headed in the right direction. Gotta keep it together with this crazy holiday season wind up. Still so much to do yet.

T1DCarnivoreRunner · December 2017

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.

Round 22:

Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%

11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual

11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected

11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.

11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.

11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.

11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.

11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.

11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.

11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.

Round 23:

Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.

11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.

11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.

11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%

11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.

11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...

11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.

11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.

11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.

11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.

Round 24:

11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.

11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%

12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%

12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.

12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.

12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.

12/5 - 140.4 lbs. - 14.9% - Some time in the bathroom this morning revealed what I think is causing the suddenly abnormally high BF% (no, not pregnant, lol). Solved part of the issue this morning, but still some to go.

12/6 - 140.2 lbs. - 12.9% - Before measuring today, spent a bit more time in the bathroom getting rid of more of what is causing the false high BF% readings.

12/7 - 141.4 lbs. - 13.1%

12/8 - 139.8 lbs. - 13.5% - I was expecting to start this round with some wonky numbers; but end up close to accurate and drastically improved weight and body fat %. Ended up losing 10.6 lbs.; about 3-4 lbs. of which was fat. I struggled in the first couple years of dieting where tracking calories didn't work and nobody could figure out why; but much learning and experimentation and I consider myself to know my body very well now and can call myself a very advanced dieter. That said, the 10% body fat goal by 12/30 is still going to be very difficult and a tight goal... but I believe it is possible.

*Next round will once again start with some high and wonky numbers at first and end up drastically better by the end.

This round should start with some high and wonky numbers, but should be drastically better by the end.

12/9 - 139.4 lbs. - 13.9% - Surprised it isn't higher, but might catch up.

12/10 - 150.0 lbs. - 13.3% - Weight has caught up, body fat should increase soon, I would expect.

12/11 - 149.6 lbs. - 10.9% - Not sure I believe the BF%; so let's see what happens. I expected it to increase along with weight.

12/12 - 147.4 lbs. - 11.0% - Surprised BF is remaining... eventually, perhaps I'll start figuring it is correct.

12/13 - 145.8 lbs. - 11.2%

12/14 - 143.4 lbs - 11.2% - Looks like consistency on BF%.

I haven't really been setting weight goals for the last few because I was struggling, but I think I will for this one. I want to end in the teens. I'm hoping to end at 219. Let's do this!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 219.8 I really don't believe this. There is no way I have lost 1.1 lbs in a day! However, for today l will take it! Date night with the husband, so we will see what tomorrow brings!
12/10 219.8 This is crazy! I'm still struggling to believe this is my actual weight. Pushed a lot of water yesterday, it's been very dry here so that is making it easier. Doing some Christmas shopping today!
12/11 221.1 Totally understand where this came from. Panera pastries, not enough water, and to much salt! I love my husband dearly, but I tend to eat like he does when we are out and about, and that's not good for me! I need to get better at that. Today, I plan on doing some grocery shopping, getting at least 30 mins of exercise, and drinking at least 2 liters of water.
12/12 221.1 Only did five mins of exercise yesterday, and didn't drink enough water. Today will be better.
12/13 220.0 better! Ready to make this go down further! More water, and at least 30 mins of exercise today!
12/14 218.5 Bam!

Water-drinking is paying off! Also been moving more, although very little actual "exercise" in the last couple days. I plan to really exercise today and continue to drink lots of water.

12/9 - 244.2 - Ugh wine.
12/10 - 246.4 - Spent yesterday hungover, eating, and not exercising. This scares me. It's been over a month since I've been this heavy. I. Have. To. Change.
12/11 - 246.2 - I did my C25K W2D1 run yesterday. If I had had my food under control, it would have been a bigger loss. I'm trying, but being out of my routine is killing me.
12/12 - 243.6 - Thank goodness. I was really starting to panic that I was rapidly approaching the 250s again. Tonight is my run, so hopefully I'll have more loss tomorrow!
12/13 - 243.4 - Talk about being out of my routine! Spent 2 hours yesterday with the adjuster and contractor. But, I still did my run and I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning.
12/14 - 242.6 - I have not been doing anything about food. I know I need to get after it, but it's just so hard for me when I'm not in my normal routine. Between everything going on at work, the roof, and the holidays, it's not likely to happen until after the first of the year. I'm keeping up with the running program. That's the absolute bare minimum I'm expecting of myself. Then, if I can't get food under control before then, in January I will redouble my efforts there.

12/10 171 yay! I can’t believe after a day of 2 parties I have lost weight haha! Whether it’s real weight or water weight, keeps me motivated to make healthy choices today. First stop brunch! Will try to order a salad. UPDATE: I ordered a patty melt with fries instead. Oops!!

12/11 - 175.1 .... wtf?! Not the best way to start a Monday but I won't get discouraged. It's all about long term trends! And I have healthy meals planned out for myself today so if I follow that I have faith that tomorrow will be better.

12/12 - 173.1 - ok it's going back down. This daily weighing exercise is just showing me how much my weight fluctuates from day to day, and it's ok! All about the overall consistent downward trend and making healthy choices on a daily basis that will be reflected on the scale days/weeks/even months from now. Yesterday I ate really well during the day and had an amazing Soulcycle spin class in the evening, but then I was super hungry afterward and I overate, so that wasn't good. I also had a big tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc with dinner, which gave me a headache and woke me up in the night. For the rest of the weeknights (Tuesday - Thursday), I am going to focus on 1) not drinking alcohol in the evenings, and 2) eating light dinners in the evenings and not snacking afterward. I meal prepped a bunch of yummy healthy vegetable soups so I am going to make those a focus in the evenings. Go team!

12/13 172.4 - OK so this counts as a .1 loss since the first day of the challenge. Yay! haha. Including today and the last day, we have 6 more days of the challenge to actually make a difference. Yesterday was a pretty good day - I went to hot yoga at lunch and I ate well and did not binge at night. I did have a glass of wine with dinner, and I did have a snack before bed because I was actually hungry, but it was a healthy snack (yogurt and muesli). Overall I am satisfied with my day yesterday, and I am motivated to make today an even better day. It's a rest day for exercise, but I will eat healthy and drink a lot of green tea and water. Woot! Also looking for motivated/motivating friends so if you're reading this please feel free to add me.

12/14 - 172.4 - Meh! Same as yesterday. I ate pretty well all day but then had too much cheese and some chocolate at night before bed (terrible idea). Planning to eat well today and have a workout at the condo gym toward the end of the night. My big challenge tonight will be to not overeat out of boredom. Fiance's out of town and I have no plans other than staying in with the dog, so it will be very tempting to just eat all the cheese in the house. Cheese is my biggest downfall!

12/09 - 144.2 hopefully I can hold onto this over the next few days. Today will be interesting, potluck lunch and pub Christmas party for dinner. At least there will be lots of movement with the dog competition we are going to.
12/10 - 143.2 might be a false blip but I’ll take it for now

Didn’t end up logging the potluck it just became too complicated with a little bit of this and that but I think I did alright with a light plate and then I chose a single dessert to treat myself and try. Then at the pub I really didn’t want to derail things so I chose to drive and have a club soda and chicken Caesar salad so I think I did alright. More dog competition today and another potluck lunch so hopefully I can keep it up.
12/11 - 143.2 very happy with this number. After the weekend of two potlucks and a pub evening Christmas party I feel like I managed to mostly keep it together. Took the same approach to the potluck I did on Sunday and went with the small plate and chose 1 treat to sample. Hoping to keep it up.
12/12 - 143.2 ended up doing drive through for dinner which was a mistake. Normally when that happens I skip the fries and I’m usually pretty good but I thought last night I would eat them. OMG they were so salty and I didn’t stop until 3/4 of the way through. Ugh the busy holiday season is making meals a bit tough. Keep pushing for the healthy or at least reasonable choices though.
12/13 - 143.0 headed in the right direction. Gotta keep it together with this crazy holiday season wind up. Still so much to do yet.
12/14 - 142.4 um ok? Yesterday was busy, went to the gym and then dog class. I didn’t eat a whole of dinner since it was kind of a flop so I threw most of it out and I ended up doing some baking tasting

Christmas party dinner tonight so that’s definitely going to put me over daily calories.

This week is going to be rough - I have so many parties for work. I guess my goal is to not get too out of control but still have fun.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 191 - My strict week before holidays paid off in a new low. I don't know how it'll hold after tonight.
12/10 - 190.8 - This is completely unexpected. I'll take it. We had such a big dinner at the party last night I assumed it'd be pure bloat today.
12/11 - 190.8 - Holding after the weekend.
12/12 - 190.4 - More parties today. Got an appointment with a personal trainer.
12/13 - 190.6 - Kind of tired and feeling bleh yesterday so I got really lax.
12/14 - 190 - Stricter with myself yesterday despite another party.

UGW 140

08/12 - 192 - R24 - The round that I ran out of anti inflammatory pills and my pain came back on like a train, also the round I found out my doctor wasn't really going to help me out, I have more pills now and I think slowly but surely they are starting to work again ... I have around 4 -6 weeks to wait to see a physio and around 35 weeks till I get to see a spinal specialist ... yay for long waits while in pain!

09/12 - 192.6 - had a little relief from my pain, so I done some xmas cleaning (something I am having real difficulty with at the moment, bending and stretching is the worst) after 1 hour I was laid up for the rest of the night in agony, had to sit in an upright position for any relief. looks like my house won't be clean for Santa!

10/12 - 192.4 - went out for a walk today at the xmas German market in town, still walking slowly but I get there in the end!

11/12 - 192.6 - 5 miles on the stat bike and calories higher than I intended -- i can still easily pull them back by average thou.

12/12 - 192.6 - lots of strength exercises today with some flex and cardio .. 2 1/2 hours total, im still in pain. so everything is modified ... the pain got worse later on at night ( due to pushing myself, i guess) so i went to bed and read a book ... and fell asleep early

13/12 - 192.6 - holding steady!
14/12 - 192.4 - holding steady!!

12/10 :: 180.8 - Ugh… Yep, that’s what a day of not keeping track of the number of calories I’m consuming does to me… Must try to be better today
12/11 :: Didn’t Weigh - Yesterday was a worse eating day than Saturday and did not want to see what that scale was going to tell me… weekends are going to be my enemy

12/12 :: 180.1 - Oh thank goodness!! Still not where I started this round, but at least the numbers are back to heading in the right direction!!

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 139 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/8... 140.6

12/09...139.6 Did a very energetic pool class yesterday that was so much fun. Today, another. Aiming to stay below 140 this round.
12/10... 141, well pshaw! Did another energetic pool class yesterday, ate within cal limits and finished eating early. What's up with this?Today, Asian food out (hello sodium), ellip and touring historic home. Come on 139!
12/11...142.4 Ate sushi yesterday=lots of carbs from white rice and sodium but so good. Hoping to see this go back down some after today. Gonna do some exercise... not awake enough to plan what.

12/12...141.4 Drank wine last night but ate within goals. Need to get some exercise today
12/13...141.4 More wine! 'Tis the season. I fear I have become too comfortable about this weight - feel better and clothes fit better and that is why I've not been really working to lose. Allowing myself too many treats. That, and I'm cooking way more for others and not for myself since my son and grandson moved in with me. I need to get my attitude adjusted as I'm only 2/3's of the way to my goal and have been here for months.

12/14...141.8 Just not getting exercise last few days. Today, elliptical!

Hello. This will be my first round. Starting at 158. I'd be happy to just start the scale going back down. I think this will help to keep me more accountable.
My short term goal is 145. Ultimate goal 130.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/09 / 158.4 / ok. I ate a little later last night than I normally would have. We had a Christmas party to go to. Today will be a lot of walking . I'm going out for dinner and am going to try to plan it out so I stay on track.

12/10 / 158 /

12/11 / 158.3 / a little frustrated but it is what it is I guess. Just keep pushing through. I know I didn't eat enough protein yesterday which means I had too much sugar.

12/12 / 158.1 /

12/13 /158.3 /

12/14 / 157.4 / I had forgotten to post yesterday. Well looks like my consistency is starting to pay off. Hopefully I can keep it up. I haven't been able to work out a lot so I've just been watching my calories as best I can.

Argh! The weekend is a killer for me! Not in eating but for logging! I have to figure out a system for this because the weekend just completely derails my logging commitment.

Anyhoo - I will just jump back in now. Survived this past weekend of Christmas #1 - Way too many beverages and yummy food available at this time of year! Stay strong everyone!

12/12 - 220.3 - Feeling as though my chest injury is at a safe point in the next few days to finally try my new elliptical. It's so pretty....
12/13 - 221 - Scale was being funky again today...weight all over the place but it seems to land on this number more than the others. I really hope Santa brings me a new one...

12/14 - 220.1 - Cautiously optimistic.....

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 222.0 Eating at maintenance today. Going out for afternoon tea!
12/10--221.5 Finished W5D3 yesterday and other than having to stop to pick up my dog's business, I ran the whole 20 minutes. I'm very surprised of the drop in weight today since I ate at maintenance yesterday and I was definitely expecting a temporary weight gain. Eating at maintenance today. Off to kettlebell class.
12/11--223.1 There's the water weight from eating at maintenance yesterday.
12/12--222.2 Going to kettebell class today.
12/13--222.2 Had a great kettlebell class yesterday. Doing W6D1 today. I have to make sure that I keep hydrated today.
12/14--221.3 Really sore this morning. I'll probably do some stretching/using the foam roller tonight and make today a rest day. I'm still working on making sure I keep hydrated.
